I dissagree with people who say a bird needs to be only bird in home, that is cruel. Birds are flock members and they need their own cage with their own stuff and lots of toys. We picked annie up and she did not have 1 toy in her cage or clean water. At least we are committed to the care we give.

Annie is setteling nicely.She greets everyone with a wave and Hello/Hola! She has all the others saying Hola as well, very cool.
